- Baby is the size of a: 23 weeks: large mango; 24 weeks: ear of corn; 25 weeks: rutabaga
- Total weight gain/loss: Officially done talking about this as it makes me depressed. I may start to stand backwards on the scale at my midwife appointments so I don't even know how much I've gained.
- The bump: I'm apparently huge to many strangers. One actually OUT LOUD asked me if I was sure it wasn't twins. What happened to tact??
- Symptoms: Some Braxton Hicks and some mild cramping which I went to see the midwife about today. It was sharp stabbing pain that felt like the pain I used to get when "they" told me I got ovarian cysts. The midwife wasn't too concerned but said to keep an eye on it and see if it went away or came with any other symptoms.
- Food cravings: Nothing really.
- Anything making me queasy/nauseous: I think I'm now ok on this front. Although, I wasn't a big fan of fried food with Kayla either and I feel the same now.
- Sleep: I'm resigned to not sleeping well for at least another year. It's ok. I've accepted it.
- What I miss: My previous body shape...like previous to Kayla.
- Wedding rings: I'm wearing them on and off. I can still get them on for sure but sometimes it's more comfortable and easier not to bother with them. I still love you Justin.
- Maternity clothes: I've gotten some shorts and a few more t-shirts and tank tops for the summer. I'm still able to wear a few normal pants and shirts (amazingly) but mostly wearing maternity stuff...it's more comfortable.
- Labor signs: Not really.
- Best Moments: Kayla being very "mommy-centric" right now. It's a little frustrating sometimes but I love the extra loving I'm getting before this baby comes.
- What I am looking forward to: The third trimester...minus the increased midwife visits.
- Worries?: Going to work on this on Friday probably. It's going to take a while to get all my thoughts down in a semi-organized manor.
